### 1/5 — It sucks

*2021-09-11*

Don’t bother downloading it

### 1/5 — Needs Updating

*2019-06-26*

looks like it’s straight outta 2003

### 2/5 — Lacking audio reinforcement

*2016-07-30*

This app has the potential to be good - simple, basic quizzing for reinforcement, but there is no audio component, it simply has a picture of the note on the staff, you press a button for the letter, and if correct, it displays a checkmark. It should play the pitch as it shows
It to you on the staff, and then have an audible display of the note showing the correct letter name with it afterwards. Such a simple feature to incorporate to get 10x the learning. As it is, I feel I wasted 3$. So frustrating that you can't get an idea of what you are buying before you pay, and then can't return!

### 4/5 — Great, but

*2015-10-28*

This app is great, but here is one thing they couldn't get right: The B note (on the treble clef is supposed to be a down stem

**Developer response:** The third line of any clef has the option of being up stem, or down stem.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-02-25*

I use this practice my note speed, it’s great and no ads! :)

### 5/5 — Ugh

*2019-09-20*

This is incredibly terrible and makes me want to die!!

### 5/5 — Perfect teaching tool

*2019-01-05*

My Band teacher implemented this, and rhythm tapper app into our curriculum and they enormously improve sight reading and music literacy. Highly recommend these apps to any music student, or teacher.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Teaching notes the right way

*2015-06-24*

This is a wonderful app that helps reinforce note names the correct way: by sight, not by some strange pneumonic device (Great Big Donkeys Fix Automobiles? Huh???) This has worked well for my band students with zero years’ experience as well as those with 5 years’ experience. It also works great for my 3rd grade son, taking piano lessons. 

Google Drive integration is not required, but makes the app much more customizable and powerful. I recommend. 

This is one of the few music apps out there that is designed by a music educator, and you can tell. It’s a great app.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-06-21*

Outstanding. Fantastic. I just posted it to my class website so students can begin using it.
